Put your most recent role first so recruiters can quickly understand your current level and recent responsibilities.
Open with context
State your job title, employer and dates clearly. If the employer or role is unfamiliar, a short contextual phrase can help.
Write achievement-led bullets
Describe what you improved, delivered, handled or contributed. Numbers are useful when they are meaningful and accurate.
Reduce older detail
Give the most space to recent and relevant experience. Older or unrelated jobs can often be summarised more briefly.
